1  Introduction

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has evolved tremendously in the recent years which made it possible to save huge volumes of information from different fields of engineering and medical applications. This information should be provided mandatorily, in terms of objects (patterns) and massive number of features so that all the aspects of the domain get characterized [1]. However, there is a complexity exits i.e., it could often result in the inclusion of several irrelevant or redundant characteristics. This may lead to poor results when utilizing Data Mining (DM) or Machine Learning (ML) methods for knowledge discovery. Dimensionality reduction [2] is a type of reduction technique in knowledge discovery procedure when handling massive set of information. There are two major methods used in this study towards reduction problems such as selection- and transformation-based methods. Selection-based method is otherwise called as feature extraction which encodes or transforms the fundamental meaning of the feature [3]. Transformation-based method reduces the original feature space without conversion owing to which the original feature is maintained. Here, cogent interpretation is feasible, and is commonly called as Feature Selection (FS) [4]. When conducting a survey, FS models can be categorized as two types in which the former FS method returns a set of features whereas in latter, the FS method returns the ranking order of each feature (according to the importance of the feature) [5]. Likewise, based on the relationships of FS method with learning models (classification), FS method is generally categorized in addition to other two distinct methods such as classification-dependent (embedded and wrapper), and classification-independent (filter). The last few years have experienced the predominant application of numerous FS models in the fields of E-commerce, medical, and healthcare which are designed by different mainstream study communities on different metrics such as probability, data theory, correlation, and so on [6]. Fig. 1 illustrates the processes involved in biomedical data classification.

Figure 1: Biomedical data classification process

Traditionally, FS method includes four fundamental stages such as subset evaluation, subset generation, result validation, and stopping criterion [7]. Amongst the four phases, subset evaluation and subset generation are the two leading factors in the creation of FS algorithm. Subset generation is assumed to be a searching issue that focuses on identifying the optimal subset from each feasible feature subset. Various searching approaches like heuristic search, greedy search, and exhaustive search are mainly utilized and explored by the authors to recognize the optimal or sub-optimal feature subset [8]. On the other hand, exhaustive approach devises every feasible combination of the feature and its ‘combinatory explosion’ results in computation load that exponentially gets improved with several features. Heuristic search strategy utilizes metaheuristic approaches like Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), Simulated Annealing (SA), Genetic Algorithm (GA), and many other optimization methods to resolve FS issues [9]. In spite of the developments achieved in the abovementioned search methods, it remains unfeasible since the methods are computationally impractical or the methods achieved a solution apart from the optimal one [10]. The advanced methods report that wrapper or filter FS methods can be applied, when the consequence of hybrid FS is not considered. Due to the established fact that no single method can assure optimum outcomes regarding prediction efficiency, the efficacy of the ‘hybrid’ method using the advantages of filter and wrapper models is examined mainly in the study.

The current research work presents a novel Biomedical Data Classification using Cat and Mouse Based Optimizer with AI (BDC-CMBOAI) technique. The proposed BDC-CMBOAI technique involves the design of Cat and Mouse Optimizer-Based Feature Selection (CMBO-FS) technique to derive a useful subset of features. In addition, Ridge Regression (RR) model is utilized as a classifier to diagnose the disease. Moreover, the utilization of CMBO-FS technique helps in removing the unwanted features and boosts the classification accuracy. The experimental results of the analysis accomplished by BDC-CMBOAI technique on benchmark medical dataset was investigated under different dimensions and the technique’s supremacy is established.

Khademi et al. [11] established a novel scheme to diagnose diabetes. In this study, an ensemble classifier was utilized in applying SVM, KNN, and WOA. WOA is responsible for the creation of weight for all the classifiers to improve the accuracy of diabetes classifiers. The diabetes dataset was collected from Medical centers located in Iran and the empirical analysis was conducted. In literature [12], the authors proposed a novel FS technique to improve the classification accuracy. Differential Evolution optimization algorithm was utilized to find the optimum subset attained by Filter-based FS technique. The performance of the presented FS was evaluated using classifiers as RF, Gradient Boosting Tree, ANN, and SVM.

Abdar et al. [13] presented a novel, easy, and effectual fusion technique with uncertainty-aware component to medicinal image classifier which is named as Binary Residual Feature fusion (BARF). Monte Carlo (MC) dropout was executed to manage the uncertainties and to obtain the mean and Standard Deviation (SD) of forecasts. The presented technique utilized four distinct medical image dataset and tested the same using two important approaches such as direct and cross-validation. The authors in the literature [14] proposed an effectual method to diagnose diabetes using a hybrid-optimized SVM. The presented hybrid optimized approach is a combination of Crow Search algorithm (CSA) and Binary Grey Wolf Optimizer (BGWO). This approach is used to exploit the complete potential of SVM to diagnose the disease. In [15], a novel technique named FR–KDE was proposed. This technique is a combination of FR and Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) from Dempster–Shafer theory. The evidence model was presented to manage the classification issue. When the outcomes of both FR and KDE were fused together using Dempster combination rule, it decreased the uncertainty of FR and attained the optimum accuracy.

3  The Proposed Model

In this study, a novel BDC-CMBOAI technique is presented to determine the occurrence of diseases using biomedical data. The proposed BDC-CMBOAI technique involves different processes namely, pre-processing, feature subset selection using CMBO-FS technique, and RR-based classification. Moreover, the utilization of CMBO-FS technique helps in getting rid of unwanted features and boosts the classification accuracy.

3.1 Algorithmic Design of CMBO-FS Technique

CMBO is a population-based technique simulated by the natural phenomena in which the cat attacks the mouse while mouse gets away from haven. The search agent, from the presented technique, is separated into two sets of cats and mice which scan the problem search spaces in an arbitrary movement. The presented technique upgrades the members of the population through two stages. In primary stage, the progress of cats near mice is demonstrated while in secondary stage, the mice running away to haven so as to save their life is modeled. From a mathematical viewpoint, all the members of the population denote the presented solutions to the problem. In general, the member of the populations contribute certain values to the problem variables based on their place from search spaces. Therefore, all the members of the population have vector whose value defines the variable of the problem. The population of this technique is defined with the help of a matrix name called population matrix as shown in Eq. (1).

X=[X1XiXN]N×m=[X1,1⋯X1,d⋯X1,m⋮⋱⋮⋰⋮Xi,1⋯Xi,d⋯Xi,m⋮⋰⋮⋱⋮XN,1⋯XN,d⋯XN,m]N×m (1)

where X refers to the population matrix of CMBO, Xi implies the ith search agent, xi,d signifies the value of dth problem variable attained by ith search agent, N signifies the number of population members, and m stands for amount of problem variables. As noted, all the members of the population define the presented values to problem variables [16]. So, the value is identified to the main function for all the population members. The values attained to the main function, are represented through a vector given in Eq. (2).

F=[F1⋮Fi⋮FN]N×1 (2)

where F denotes the vector of main purpose value and Fi indicates the main purpose value to the ith search agent. According to the values attained for the main purpose, the member of populations is classified as the optimum member with a minimal value of main function to worse member of populations with maximum value of main function. The arranged population matrix and arranged main function are defined in Eqs. (3) and (4).

XS=[X1S⋮XiS⋮XNS]=[X1,1S⋯X1,dS⋯X1,mS⋮⋱⋮⋰⋮Xi,1S⋯Xi,dS⋯Xi,mS⋮⋰⋮⋱⋮XN,1S⋯XN,dS⋯XN,mS]N×m (3)

FS=[F1Smin(F)⋮⋮FNSmax(F)]N×1 (4)

where XS refers to the sort population matrix which depends upon main function value, XiS signifies the ith member of sorting population matrix, xi,ds represents the value to dth problem variable attained by ith search agent of sorting population matrix, and FS stands for sorted vector of the main function. In CMBO, it can be considered that half of the population members offered optimum values to the main function so as to create the population of mice whereas the other half of the population members offered lesser values to the main function which constitutes the population of cats. According to this method, the population of mice and cats are defined through the Eqs. (5) and (6), correspondingly

M=[M1=X1S⋮Mi=XiS⋮MNm=XNmS]Nm×m=[X1,1S⋯X1,dS⋯X1,mS⋮⋱⋮⋰⋮Xi,1S⋯Xi,dS⋯Xi,mS⋮⋰⋮⋱⋮XNm,1S⋯XNm,dS⋯XNm,mS]N×m, (5)

C=[C1=X1S⋮Cj=XiS⋮CNc=XNm+NcS]Nc×m=[XNm+1,1S⋯XNm+1,dS⋯XNm+1,mS⋮⋱⋮⋰⋮XNm+j,1S⋯XNm+j,dS⋯XNm+j,mS⋮⋰⋮⋱⋮XNm+Nc,1S⋯XNm+Nc,dS⋯XNm+Nc,mS]Nc×m, (6)

where M refers to the population matrix of mice, Nm signifies the number of mice, Mi implies the jth mouse, C stands for population matrix of cats, Nc defines the number of cats, and Cj determines the ith cat. To update the search factor, a primary stage i.e., the the place of the cats is altered according to the natural performance of cats and progress near mice. This upgradation stage of the presented CMBO is mathematical modeled with the help of the Eqs. (7)–(9).

Cjnew:cj,dnew=cj,d+r×(mk,d−I×cj,d)&j=1:Nc′d=1:m,k∈1:Nm′ (7)

I=round(1+rand), (8)

Cj={Cjnew,|Fjc,new<FjC,Cj,|else (9)

At this point, Cjnew denotes the novel condition of jth cat, cj,dnew indicates the novel value to dth problem variable attained by jth cat, r implies the arbitrary number in the interval of 0 and1 , mk,d means the dth dimensional of kth mouse, Fjc,new stands for the main function value which is dependent upon the novel condition of jth cat. In secondary stage of the presented CMBO, the run-away of the mice to haven is demonstrated. The place of haven, from the search space, is arbitrarily generated based on how the places of distinct members of the technique are modelled. This upgradation stage of the place of mice is mathematically processed through the Eqs. (10)–(12).

Hi:hi,d=xl,d&i=1:Nm,d=1:m,l∈1:N, (10)

Minew:mi,dnew=mi,d+r×(hi,d−I×mi,d)×sign(Fim−FiH)&i=1:Nm,d=1:m, (11)

Mi={Minew,|Fim,new<FimMi′|else (12)

At this point, Hi defines the haven to ith mouse and FiH represents their main function value. Minew signifies the novel condition of ith mouse and Fim,new denotes the main function value. Then, each member of this population is upgraded and this technique enters the next iteration based on the Eqs. (5)–(12). The technique is applied iteratively until the termination criteria is obtained. This start-to-end optimization technique denote the specific amount of iterations to determine the acceptable error between the attained solutions and consecutive iteration. Fig. 2 demonstrates the flow process of CMO technique.

Figure 2: Process in CMO

Transfer function manner refers to the chances of different place vector elements in terms of zero to one, conversely a further simplified ad efficiency model. When exploring the ab optimum group of features, the transfer function significantly controls the resultant of FS approach than it avoids the local optimum problems and preserves the trade-off between exploration and exploitation methods. Based on the above-mentioned scenario, FF provides a solution in this condition to obtain a balance between the purposes as follows.

fitness=αΔR(D)+β|Y||T| (13)

ΔR(D) signifies the classifier error rate. |Y| implies the size of subsets that this technique selects and |T| refers to the whole count of features contained in the presented dataset. α demonstrates the parameter ∈[0,1] compared with the weight of error rate of classification correspondingly. However β=1−α stands for the importance of reducing feature.

3.2 Process Involved in RR-Based Classification

At the time of classification, RR model is applied to derive a meaningful subset of features. RR [17], a type of SLFN in which the weight between the input as well as hidden layers are selected following an arbitrary method. So, the weights between the hidden and resultant layers require the learning whereas, in RR, a least square-based learning technique is utilized to tackle binary- and multi-class classifier issues. RR is computationally-free in iterations which generate the results rapidly, by considerably decreasing the computational time required for training the SLFN. SLFN technique frequently needs a maximum amount of hidden neurons since it creates optimum solution. The resultant function of the SLFN with L hidden node is demonstrated through the formulas given below.

fL(x)=∑i=1Lβigix=∑i=1LβiG(ai,bi,x),x∈Rd,βi∈Rm (14)

To additive nodes with activation function g, g is demonstrated as follows

gi=G(ai,bi,x)=g(aix+bi),ai∈Rd,bi∈R (15)

∑i=1LβiG(ai,bi,x)=tj,j=1,…,N (16)

The above formula is revised as follows.

Hβ=T (17)

At this point,

H(w1⋯wL,b1⋯bL,x1⋯xN)

=(g(w1⋅x1+b1)⋯g(wL⋅x1+bL)⋮⋱⋮g(w1⋅xN+b1)⋯g(wL⋅xN+bL)) (18)

β=[β1T⋮βNT] (19)

T=[t1T⋮tNT] (20)

H implies the hidden layer resultant matrix of NN. SLFN is trained to resolve a linear system optimized problem with the help of subsequent formulas:

||Hβ^−T||=minβ||Hβ−T|| (21)

At this point, β^ is represented as:

β^=H†T=(HTH)−1HTT (22)

is the lowest norm least square solution of wi=T and HT signifies the Moore Penrose generalization inverse of H .

The process of RR is outlined in the subsequent steps.

Step1 Select the input weight wi and hidden layer bias bi arbitrarily.

Step2 Calculate the hidden layer resultant matrix H.

Step3 Achieve the resultant weight β^ utilizing the formula β^=H†T
